You'll Be Sorry


from the ABC set Poems

Do you remember when you said you loved me
And then turned away and lied
I remember when you said you cared
Then ignored me when I needed you most

With all the times you’ve made me cry
You’d think I learn
That I would walk away
That I would finally say goodbye

There was always something about your smile
And the glimmer in your eyes
Something always made me grin
Even when inside I was dying

Though we’re now apart
Something about it seems wrong
With all that you’ve done to hurt me
I should have been the one to leave

But I’m here crying
Even though I should be happy
And you’re out there with some other girl
After all I’ve gone through; it should be the other way around

Sooner or later you’ll have what’s coming to you
And I will be free
Eventually this pain will go away
And you will be the one who’s sorry
